What if rust got "unchecked" (unsafe) versions of arithmetic operations that have C arithmetic semantics. Kind of the opposite of "checked_add".

Votes already create an echo chamber, but not a personal one. Which kind of echo chamber is better, who knows?

What your describing sounds a lot like Zagster on my campus. From what I understand, they work with universities, corporations, and cities to build out their bike sharing network. It seems like Zagster is trying to play the role of bike sha

Maybe this would go too far into the "uncanny valley", but why not have teleconferencing sales people? Eg have a terminal near the solar products where you can hit a button and immediately be connected to a remote sales rep. This

It is healthy in comparison to the average thing people eat. It's hard to get obese eating just chicken breast (you will get full pretty quick). We aren't going to get everyone drinking kale smoothies.

> Any comparisons to race on this topic is unfounded as race is already a protected class and I don't know of any mainstream religion that discriminates based on color. Religion was an integral part of opposition to interracial marr

If enough businesses reject gay customers, it imposes a financial and emotional cost on being gay. Large numbers of people don't think that's acceptable behavior from commercial entities.

I suspect, but don't know for sure, that most charities experience diminishing marginal utility for each dollar received after some point. Therefore if people give too much to a single charity, it's rank will fall. If there is not

How much of the UB in C is carried over to C++? Does the C++ standards committee carry a lot of the UB over into C++, or try to fix the issue? If C++ doesn't have the same UB, maybe the solution is to compile C code with a C++ compiler

Why is it important to put jokes there? I view a check as a pseudo-legal document. Do you slip jokes into the contracts you sign?

Something about this reads like a viral ad for Venmo. It's as if it is trying to draw you in to the app to see what your friends are doing.

> Regulations tend to favor incumbents, decreasing competition, and thereby increase monopoly and creating central hubs of systemic risk. Have there been studies on this?

This does seem to be the case. Here is an example I was able to create: use std::io::stdin; fn main() { let mut s = String::new(); stdin().read_line(&mut s).expect("Did not enter a correct string"); le

I think the thinking (I'm not defending it) in some circles is that the courts are slow and expensive. Anything that keeps disagreements out of the courts is a win for society. If accidentally run into your mailbox, rather than requiri

Turning off the display of personalized ads and turning off data collection are different. Do the setting you are talking about prevent data collection?

What if Google emotionally bribed people? eg "For every month you have targeted ads enabled, we will donate 10 cents to [INSERT CHARITY]."

Writing it up is not a bad idea. If you could find citations from economists or research that has shown this to work (even if its in slightly different situations) I think it could be convincing.

The FCC at some point considered requiring authentication numbers or attaching names to numbers. They ultimately rejected the idea. There were multiple reasons why they rejected it, but from talking to someone at the FCC one of the reasons

I've had a similar issue where a stranger put a hold on the mail to my house. Took me a while to figure out, and I'm still not sure why it happened. If I had been expecting critical mail such as bills, things could have gone worse

Regardless who is technically at fault, the Firefox team is best placed to resolve the issue. It kind of surprises me that this is an issue at all. I was under the impression a large number of FF devs use Macbooks.
